Sad news. I didn't know Peter personally, but bought from him many times over the years and he was always a gentleman.

One of the first dealers I bought from in the early 1980s so I would have only been about 14- from memory wasn't he a very tall fella?

RIP and thanks for sharing

Can I echo what others have said re the sad news of Peter's passing away. Always interested in how your side were doing when speaking at a fair or on the phone.
A pleasure to deal with over the years. RIP.
